Facebook doesn't invalidate the token.
Isn't invalidating tokens incompatible with architectures which use
self-contained (cryptographic) tokens instead of random strings?! If
so, making this a requirement would force the server developers to
implement a TRL (token revocation list, similar to a CRL) where every
token - even those cryptographically valid - would need to be checked
against. While this would be great from a security perspective, it
might be impractical.
